2 Years After Meeting My Son, I Am Finally, Officially His Legal Mother

I Adopted My Foster Son Is 'The Best Thing I've Ever Done'

It was almost 2 1/2 years ago that a seven-month-old baby came to live with us. It's a story we plan to tell him every year on "Gotcha Day": The foster agency was out of cars, and we couldn't wait one more day, so Mommy left work and took a livery cab to outer-borough New York with only a stuffed sea lion and a newly purchased car seat, while Daddy hurried to assemble a nursery at home, after buying everything in one frantic day at Target.
